If the owner of this FSBO offering at 95 Devoe Street isn’t a professional stylist or interior designer, she should think about a career change. As far as we can tell, she’s taken a relatively unremarkable Williamsburg row house and turned it into a charming home ready for a magazine shoot. And for her work, it’s looking like she’ll make some money. The four-story, two-family house was purchased for $640,000 in 2004, according to public records. The asking price now? $1,700,000. The owner is listing it herself but offering a 2.5% fee to brokers who bring a buyer to the table. We’ll confess to not being too up on the comps for this area. It’s gotta be on the very high end, but then again it’s probably a lot nicer than most of the houses that come to market around here.

I can’t stand this area.
It’s ugly as hell.
And fyi…3:10…you might be correct about the house being victorian originally…but you know what….for 1.7 million you can take off the aluminium and UPGRADE IT!!!
who pays 1.7 million dollars for aluminum siding???
A FOOL IS WHO!
sorry, but prospect heights, clinton hill! no thanks! gross ghetto people there. and, hello, welcome to 10 years of AY construction, traffic, and bleeckkkk.
this neighborhood is lovely and convenient, and unlike the crap holes of PH and CH, actually has a stellar school – PS 132.
cannot believe that anyone would prefer to live near the projects and the ghetto over a safe neighborhood that’s way way closer to the city to boot!
also, just cause a house has aluminum siding doesn’t mean that it isn’t a victorian originally. many re-done homes in the area and more coming I’m sure.
I think they are testing the market. As someone who works in real estate but not on the sales side, I see this all the time.
5% are lucky the rest take their properties quickly of the market.
2:02 – Hate to break it to you, but there are many people who would not consider Prospect Heights or Clinton Hill better neighborhoods than Williamsburg. The neighborhoods basically cater to completely different clientele and people who love williamsburg tend to be completely disinterested in the rest of brownstone brooklyn.
That being said, this owner must not be serious about selling because she will never get close to that price IMHO. Even at the height of the market a friend of mine couldn’t sell his four-family house in this area for a million, and this is NOT a $700,000 reno.
Cornice and a small entry roof with brackets
2:18 is this true? did they just stage the whole thing this morning??? If so they should be hired by Corcoran
Fjorder, loved your comment, but I think you’re giving some of the “professionals” too much credit. A $100 digital would take better snaps than many which I’ve seen on Corcoran. And how about certain floorplans that looked like they were drawn on a cocktail napkin at 3am after downing 14 PBRs?
Is the vinyl siding original?
Ladies and gentlemen this is the future of Williamsburg. Very Georgetown.
I feel like this house needs something more substantial at the top of the facade (cornice?). Also, how would shutters look?
I love that house and would offer $1.2 cash if I had it. Sadly, I don’t, which is why I post wistfully on Brownstoner…
